Lana Del Rey has been teasing her forthcoming album, Ultraviolence, for months now. While it was rumored she’d be working with the Black Keys‘ Dan Auerbach, today (Feb. 20) she confirmed the news via a photo on Twitter.

“Me and Dan Auerbach are excited to present you Ultraviolence,” she tweeted along with a photo of her sitting on Auerbach’s lap.

In an interview with Radio.com last year, Lana was writing her new album and said she liked the direction she was heading in, describing the sound as “low-key and cool.”

“They’re really low-key and stripped back, all sort of West Coast inspired,” she said. “The further along I’ve gotten, the more I stay working with like the same four people. Like Dan [Daniel Heath, who co-wrote “Blue Jeans”], who’s not into pop music but rather, a composer for scores and studied under Hans Zimmer. Him and my boyfriend Barrie [Barrie-James O’Neill, of Glasgow folk-rock band Kassidy].”
